Kuwait bought 28 Typhoon

Kuwait signed a contract with Italy for the supply of 22-x single and 6-ti double fighter Eurofighter Typhoon, reports the blog bmpd with reference to DefensеNews.

The planes will be delivered by the Italian company Alenia Aermacchi (part of the Finmeccanica group), participating in the international Eurofighter program. According to the publication, "Kuwait will be the first recipient of fighters in the version with the new radar Captor-E with AFAR of the development of the Euroradar consortium led by the Italian company Selex ES, also part of Finmeccanica."

Kuwait’s intention to acquire Boeing F / A-40E / F Super Hornet fighters was previously reported. It is not known how the current deal will affect the fate of American cars.

DefensеNews notes that "the success of Eurofighter is particularly important now, because it allows partially recover export positions after the success of its main competitor, Dassault Rafale, in promoting its aircraft to the markets of Egypt and Qatar."

According to the resource, “Kuwait became the fourth customer of Eurofighter fighters outside the consortium of the same name after Austria (which received the 15 aircraft), Saudi Arabia (ordered 72) and Oman (which ordered the 12).”

I wonder who they are going to fight with these stools. all who have an interest in destroying Kuwait have our normal aircraft, tuzik> warmer.

Alexander Vladimirovich, I suspect a colleague has an advertising contract with Uralvagonzavod, but then this is a violation of the rules of the site, as far as I remember, placing commercial information in the comments is unacceptable.
But most likely the colleague has either a complex or a large uncontrollable hostility to the Americans.

To celebrate, I thought we had bought a Typhoon car ... bummer.

[vovanpain]

Yes pah to Ukraine, when there is no news from Ukraine, this is the good news. But when they write that the Russian Air Force received new SU and MiG it will be great news, otherwise Kuwait, Kuwait .....

[inkass_98]

Kuwait already has such a palette of weapons that it is unclear how they deal with this Kunstkamera. Such a wide range of weapons cannot but lead to a mess in the field of logistics and services.
But master, master, why not have fun, if pennies allow.

[Ruslan]

the Arabs. and that’s it all :) I think their whole current strategy is calculated, just withstand the first blow and wait for the amers. and here it is no longer important to have spare parts or not. probably hope that before parts are needed they will come to save. and in terms of ammunition almost all equipment is unified. I won’t be surprised if they don’t have at all or a little spare parts in warehouses and they order them on demand. they probably think that for short-term battles this is not critical.

Where did they get the variety? Ancient Hornets from the early nineties and that's it. It was high time to change ... Of course, it was more logical to replace Super Hornets, less retraining and maintenance costs ... but if "money burns your thigh", then why not?
But the choice is certainly not very good. On the Typhoons, the AFAR radar has not yet been tested, so Rafali would be preferable ...

[marlin1203]

What's the difference? Taking into account the area of ​​the country, everything that does not have time to escape or fly away in the first day of the war will be captured. And no problems with different "nomenclature" of weapons!

[clidon]

In order to prevent this from happening, you need to restrain the war away from the borders. Well, friends have more help.

[SCHNIFER]

For the sheikhs, the main parameter has always been "Beautiful and expensive". I would not be surprised if typhoons are inlaid with bruliks, and sapphire glasses on the devices

[I doubt it]

You are not so far from the truth. On rockets with FC or IR guidance systems, the glass is truly sapphire.

[sharp-lad]

The truth is not for beauty!

[oldav]

Explain why Western typhoons, f-18, f-22, f-35, tornadoes are positioned as fighter-bombers, and our su-30 and mig-29 are mainly like fighters?

[DIVAN SOLDIER]

They also sharpen them as attack aircraft, in order to save.

They do not have such a classification as a fighter-bomber, according to their multirole combat aircraft, that is, a multi-purpose fighter. These vehicles are equipped with the appropriate equipment: synthetic aperture radars, hanging / integrated sighting / navigation containers, plus a wide range of air-ground weapons. In theory, the Su-30 family also belongs to this class, but its capabilities to independently detect targets are limited by radar. Although the Indian Su-30MKI integrated Damocles hanging sighting container, but only in India.

Kuwait is sleeping and sees getting into a fight and cater to the Americans.

Kuwait is sleeping and sees getting into a fight and cater to the Americans.

If I wanted to please the United States, I would buy Super Hornet, and I agree Mera Joota would be better if they took Rafali and not only because of AFAR, Rafal, if I’m not mistaken as a drummer, is magnificent, but Taifun has not been brought to the end until the end Old that Rafali in Mali carried out attacks at a distance of 5000 km (2 additional corrections).

Yeah, and the next day this very SU-35 would be studied in the United States.
Kuwait is at least our adversary and at most the enemy is on a par with our worst enemies like the United States or the Israeli regime.

So it is necessary to deliver in the export version, like everything else.

"They will run in" is one thing, but they will sort it out another, Kuwait is one of the best friends of the United States, he will "transfer" the plane to them.

Stupid waste of money on a failed plane.

[tiras85]

Kuwait, Kuwait ... I would be more interested in the news that the Russian Air Force received 28 latest fighters 4 +++
generations. I do not specify examples of types and modifications for obvious reasons (note) As for the Typhoon, the unit is not bad, but expensive to maintain. Our aircraft will be cheaper, more efficient and stronger. The article gives an example of a 2004 aerial battle with a pair of F-15. Old data. Would this "Typhoon" tinker with a modified (and modification is being carried out) pair of MIG-21BIS to ++. And not the fact that Typhoon won.

[Amurets]

Is the MiG-21 somewhere in service? I thought that only the training remained.

India still has BIS. The truth is not really like them there because the accident rate is high ...

of the more than 900 MiG-21s received by the Indian Air Force, more than 400 aircraft crashed. At the same time, more than 130 pilots died.

This is from an old article about how an Indian pilot filed a lawsuit against the Indian Air Force to recognize the MiG-21 fighter as an object "violating the human right to life."

Good is never cheap. This is the first. Well, anyone who has no problems with money is Kuwait. This is the second ... and most importantly.

[Tatarname]

There is money. Why not buy. Want, buy other planes. There is money, oil is swinging.

[Leeder]

Do not comrades think that the contract was given to the Europeans as a "bone" instead of money for the notorious Mistrals?
If, in theory, the Americans had the contract in their pockets, but "suddenly unexpectedly" passes into the hands of the Europeans, it seems suspicious to me, Kuwait is still an ordinary US puppet ...
